Mike has spent years traveling the world in custom overlander rvs, and he has perfected the art of converting vehicles to tiny homes. This is his 3rd overlander tiny house, and it happens to be a retired military truck that he's modified into a modern and surprisingly spacious home on wheels.

    This is by far one of the best build on wheels I've ever seen, a cross between a modern Ikea Showroom Interior and a Zombie Apocalypse Survival Vehicle!
  • @TheCoolDave
    Ok, this one is impressive. Walk inside and it's like a mini home, full kitchen, full shower, full bathroom in a small space and it does not look cluttered. Very impressive build.
  • @Thailerr
    You'll never find a happier man than one showing off his homemade toys. You can see the pride in this mans face throughout the entire video. Amazing build!
  • Had the pleasure of seeing this rig in person in October 2022 at the Overland Expo East in Virginia. It's even more impressive in person and Mike was a great guy to talk with. Very impressive build
  • a rain shower in a truck!!! A RAIN SHOWER IN A TRUCK!!!!.... seriously well done dude, amazing truck/home
  • @barnstar2077
    Wow, impressive. Respect to this guy for knowing what he wants, not compromising, and executing it perfectly!
  • Love how it is higher off the ground. No one will just be able to come knock on the door unless they have stairs. Beautiful inside design. Love everything about it.
  • As an Englishman, I have to say you Americans really know how to do things properly. And in style. Superb.
  • @kimlawson6857
    I’m not sure if I’m more impressed with the rig or Mike himself. The home is absolutely amazing and this is a guy who seems totally genuine, totally down to earth, and knew what he wanted from life. Great job on both fronts.
  • That has to be the coolest, most unique rig I've ever seen. I loved the puzzle light in the kitchen. Actually, I love everything about it. Nobody would think for a minute that it was a house on wheels. It's absolutely captivating. We'll done and God bless!! ❤️😊
  • @kimjones217
    Best build ever, used common sense and actual thinking skills and covered all bases perfectly. Nice guy too. Good luck to you.
  • @Lilmonke_586
    Holy cow. This is an insane build. This guy should be so proud, his rig is incredible and he’s just living his best life. Very wholesome, nice job!
  • @ReclinerBabe
    As a 90 year old lil ol lady....I thought I'd seen EVERYTHING. (Especially in the motorhome dept.) I have to go back and watch this video again.... WOW! Just WOW! Absolutely amazing. I want one. My grandaughter drove similar rigs in her tour of duty in Afghanistan. Wait until she sees this! Grandma's blown away!
  • This guy has built an EPIC rig. The ingenuity and thought he put into this is second to none.
  • @parkerallen1418
    I laughed out loud when he said he keeps a separate fridge for the beers right next to the driver seat.
  • @n.a.8050
    Gotta respect the guy. He built the ultimate man cave that he brings everywhere. 😊 Safe travels to all~
  • @BabyGirl3538
    I was putting off looking at this video because the outside didn’t appeal to me but your home on wheels is hands down ONE OF THE BEST BUILDS I have ever seen! LOVE IT ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • @JasonSewell
    Best rig I've ever seen. And built for probably 10% of what a similar overlander would cost new.
  • As a former cabinet maker, Ikea cabinets are well made, good choice, this has to be the best version I have ever seen, job well done indeed!
